Steps to limit through traffic in town centre


PROPOSALS to limit traf fic through Clitheroe town centre moved a step further when a report, was presented to nibble Valley councillors.


Members of. the Plan­


ning and Development Committee heard that traffic surveys in Clitheroe town centre found approx­ imately dO% of the traffic using Castle Street and Market Place on a typical


Blackpool songsters in town


SINGER and pianist Bar­ bara Allen, who was inter­ viewed in last Sunday’s "Songs of Praise” from Blackpool, will he among the '10 Citadel Songsters singing in Clitheroe this Saturday. The Blackpool Salvation


Army singers, who are among the finest in the country, present their two-hour concert in Trin­ ity Methodist Church, starting at 7-.‘i0 p.m. Planning for the concert


has taken 18 months. Money raised will go tothe Bible Society, which is striving Lo meet an ever increasing demand for Bibles the world over. Many countries in the


news because of their troubles — from the for­ mer USSR to the Philip­


pines and from Yugoslavia to Mozambique — are eager to receive Bibles or Gospels in their own lan­ guages. Interest in the Bible Society has never been higher. The cost of admission to


the concert is .Cl, including refreshments, and accom­ panied children are free. Further information is available from the Rev. Rodney Nicholson (Clith­ eroe 22-1 IS).


Facial injuries


A YOUTH was treated for facial injuries after being assaulted in WellgaLe, Clitheroe, at 11-30 p.m. on Saturday. The i8-year-old, who


lives in the Todmorden area, was taken lo Burn­ ley General Hospital, but not detained. Clitheroe police are investigating.


working day was through traffic. The county surveyor


con s id e red that the. volume should be reduced, as there is a high level of pedestrian activity, with eight out of nine reported injury accidents during the three-year period up. to July, 1001, involving pedestrians. He said that alterations


could be carried out to Castle Street and Market Place to discourage dri­ vers travelling through the town centre ami to improve conditions for pedestrians. Four junctions on the


surrounding road network would have to be improved and traffic regulation orders would have to be imposed to prohibit park­ ing on lengths of road where traffic levels would increase. The junctions were Parson I.ane/Station Road, Station Road/King Street, Railway View Road/Railway View and Waddington Road/Railway View. Councillors heard that


the cost of the work would be in excess of .t'Do.OOO and there was no money allo­ cated in the present finan­ cial programme, although money could be made available in the 1!)!)3/-1 small improvement pro­ gramme, if the scheme was considered a priority. I f i t was introduced, the


Ribble Valley Council would have to pay for enhancement work in Cas­ tle Street and a contribu­ tion to alterations to road junctions. Members of Ihe commit­


tee agreed to accept the county council's resolution to accepL the report and proposals as a basis for consultation and, through a joint exercise, report back with the reactions of those consulted.

incident occurred on a morning in June, when Mrs Hood was standing at the junction of Woono Lane and Eshton Terrace, talking to a “lollipop lady." The two women saw the


defendant driving a white Austin Ambassador, which he parked on Woone Lane. He got out of the car and proceeded to shout abuse at Mrs Hood, refer­ ring to an incident some weeks earlier, when she had issued him with a parking ticket. Mr Francis Mclintee,


prosecuting, said: " I t is conunoin practice to take issue with traffic wardens, but not with such abuse as this.” Mrs Hood, under ques­


tioning by Mr McEntqe. said: “ He was very aggra­ vated and annoyed and was shouting and swear­ ing. It was very busy and there were lots of young children around. I was q u ite u p s e t b y hi s language.” Grieve, who repre­

with her arms folded, in a confrontational manner,

had “hounded" him since issuing the parking ticket and had, on several occa­ sions, “pointed him out” to other people. Mr McEutee, cross-exa­

University challenge for Fiona


A C L ITH ERO E schoolgirl has set her intrepid sights on South East Asia — and the


challenge of teaching English to Indonesian university students! Fiona Glen (17), a pupil of Clitheroe Royal Gram­


mar School, has been chosen by Project Trust, the organisation which places young people in voluntary posts overseas, to visit the Indonesian islands for at ieast a year, leaching university students. Fiona, who decided to apply for the post after a


Project Trust representative visited CRGS, was cho­ sen for the trip from among many hopefuls, after a lengthy selection procedure. The selection interviews, which tool: place in Scot­


land, are specifically designed to ascertain a candi­ date’s suitability for a lengthy working trip overseas. Fiona’s trip, which will be undertaken with 20


other young people from schools and colleges around the country, will mean deferring her own university place — she intends to study zoology — for at least a year. Until then, she will be studying for A-Ievols in


chemistry, biology, geography and general studies, as well as undertaking various fund-raising activities to help sponsor her trip. She said: “ I need i!2,(i00 altogether and hope to do


a sponsored walk and perhaps something adventur­ ous like a parachute jump!” Fiona is no stranger to either adventure or travel,


for she worked on an immunisation programme in Malawi, in Africa, two years ago and visiLed Rus­ sia last year. She said: “I have always wanted to go to Indonesia,


because I know a few people who have been, who liked it very much. Mv parents think it is a great idea!” Fiona is pictured surveying a map of Indonesia.
